I love Om and High On Fire (and I never really thought I would) but there is no comparison between Sleep and those bands. Sonically, there are touches of Sleep in both bands but most of those bands' records have been consistently available (with a few exceptions) and there hasn't been the cultural mystery and fanfare for those bands as neither produced an album of as large of a landmark status that ended up being the bar against which a particular style has been held up to. Sleep have had a mythology of grandeur and rightfully so, I would say. The subsequent bands that were born from Sleep's break up are generally lauded and held in high regard by many but those same three guys aren't going to produce something that gains the status of Jerusalem/Dopesmoker on their own outside of the collective of Sleep as a band proper. They went on to form new bands under their own shadows.
 
Sleep as a specific group (even lacking the original drummer from their classic, most successful lineup) and their name carry an air of sanctity in their genre and among their fans new and old. I doubt they ever sought that status specifically by doing what they did but their output and the scarcity and limitation of that output only further imbues them with aggrandizement. They had two albums as Cisneros/Pike/Hakius. Holy Mountain was well loved and established a culture of "Sabbath Worship" and Dopesmoker was venerated and used as a rite of passage in the Doom/Stoner metal community. It was bootlegged and scarce and it was also a major feat of execution and creativity. Both albums were out of print or non-existant on vinyl for a long time as well. That's why the fanfare over Sleep is and will likely remain greater than it is for Om and HOF. And all that carries over into the present with the weight of their unlikely reunion in 2009 and subsequent tours and then the idea that a whole new album was a possibility spurned by the release of a warmly received single in 2014. Sleep has been an institution longer as well obviously. Their fanbase has been gestating with their material for a long time and I'd say they are more popular now than they've ever been.

That’s the reason we’re all pissed. It would be like if Paul McCartney started doing this shit. You just know he’s better than that and it’s painful to watch
 
thats also a terrible argument. Spielberg hasn't earned the right to put out shitty movies in 2018 since he gave us ET, Jaws, Saving Private Ryan, Jurassic Park and Raiders of the lost Ark.

this is all i can think of with his new music: 
 

 

I'm Scruffy, the janitor, and I appreciate all yer kind werds. Now I'm off to make some sangria in the terlet. 

In the spirit of this thread and some of its participants, can I ask if the open back makes for easier access?

The Route One album is on Spotify btw

Song is great.  That outro needs to be like 3-4 minutes longer though.  I could live inside that groove forever.
 
 
Also, I'm too emotionally numb to cry right now.  Girls are stupid.  I honestly don't even want to buy records anymore.  ::shrug:: 

Yeah, but not because you can't get a limited copy of a RSD release on RSD.

I wasn't doubting @mcpherson123 when they said that, I was just saying there's definitely some variation in the prices.

I'm here for the thrash. (posting for ★)

Rather than opening a new topic everytime anyone sees a new preorder or release and clutter up the board with obscure metal bands that only a few people might appreciate, I figured it would be a great idea to have one thread that encompasses all new extreme metal releases and pre-orders.
Of course if a release is well known, then by all means it warrants it's own thread on the boards, of course. If you don't think it's a huge release, go ahead and post it here.
Here we'll see bands of extreme metal genres like death metal, thrash metal, grindcore, black metal, Avant garde progressive metal. And any other extreme metal group that fancies our taste. 
I've seen a lot of metal releases around the Cyber space that I don't see posted here but I didn't want to clutter up the boards with shit only a few people would like.
Anyways, I'll be posting Some metal bands here and you can too!

Xander Harris was hit by a car while riding his bike a few weeks ago and, while he will thankfully be okay in the long run, he has been off work since with some mounting medical/PT bills. I guess what I'm saying is if you're on the fence, hop off it and pick up a good record by a good dude who needs a good turn right now.
